My name is LUNA now that I am adopted my name is IZZIE and my SRC ID is 2040.
I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED! My parents are Angela and Bob of NC! CONGRATULATIONS
I came to SRC as a rescue from China to save me from a horrible death. My arrival date in the United States was November 23, 2019 . When The SRC Core Team saw what was happening to precious dogs like me, they decided they had to help me and others like me. A different culture considers me "meat for food" and the way it is prepared is barbaric. I would be beaten to tenderize my meat then skinned alive. At that point, I would either be butchered or boiled alive to be eaten in soup. I am too tiny to make a full meal on my own so I would be used as flavoring--Many of the puppies there are used that way and now that it is getting colder many of the Chinese breeders just get rid of the puppies by selling them for soup! In the U.S. there are laws to protect us yet there in China the law helps to torture us. Rescuers have to purchase us from them also, before we are tortured and killed in very inhumane ways. SRC could not stand by and do nothing so they committed to helping me and others like me. It is expensive yet what is a life truly worth? When I come to SRC another rescue, China Dog Rescue has assured that I am healthy. Before I came here to the States, I went thru quarantine to assure that I am very healthy. I am a very young tiny girl with a birth date of April 20, 2019 and I weigh less than 10 pounds. My foster mom says that I am closer to 5 pounds right now. I am micro-chipped, have all my vaccinations and have not yet been spayed due to my young age. When I arrived in the States, I will be evaluated for whatever time is considered necessary by my foster family who have gone through SRC's approval process once I am settled in from my trip. My foster mom went to China to pick me up and we have spent quite a bit of time together. My foster family is located in Sanford, NC. I was born with my left eye smaller than my right one and SRC is having that checked by their vet. It does not seem to bother me but SRC wants to be certain that it is not a problem for me. Luna's adoptive parent will be given a discount on the requested donation and asked to have her spayed in one year when her growth platelets have completed their growth. SRC will request proof of her spay at that time and provide the adopter with a tax letter for any expenditures incurred for her spay. SRC does not support puppy spay/neuters as research shows it can be hazardous to their mental and physical wellbeing.
(SRC#2040) LUNA's Story
LUNA with this unique identification number: (SRC#2040) came into SRC custody and care in the States on November 23, 2019. Now vetted this dog will be prepared for adoption by a foster family here is the States who have gone thru our approval process. Luna is a sweetheart and a tiny puppy who loves for her foster dad to carry her around like a little baby.
Already completely vetted, these canines only need to be evaluated prior to adoption by their SRC approved adoptive parents. This dog is heart-worm and fecal negative, de-wormed, vaccinations done, spay/neuter is not applicable at this age so adopter is given a year to have this completed and a discount will be allowed, micro-chipped, examined fully by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet will have been addressed. They will have also been through quarantine to assure that there were no medical issues that might have been over-looked. Every one of these dogs has been issued a permit by the Dept of Agriculture stating that they are qualified for re-sale (in rescue's case that is for adoption). Here is a section of this permit which tells much about what is required for each canine:
"The dog may only be imported if the applicable requirements for obtaining a permit and entering the country are met and any other applicable regulations for import of any other statute or regulation of the United States or any State are also met.
The dog must be accompanied by the following documents: 1. A completely and accurately filled out veterinary health certificate filled out in English bearing the signature and license number of a veterinarian licensed in the country of export a) providing the name and address of the importer , b) identifying the dog on the basis of breed, sex, age, color, markings, and other identifying information, c) stating that the dog is at least 6 months old, d) stating that it was vaccinated within 12 months against distemper, hepatitis leptospirosis, parvovirus and parainfluenza (DHLPP) to provide continuous protection from those diseases, and e) free of any infectious disease or physical abnormality which would endanger the dog or other animals or endanger public health; 2. a completely and accurately filled out rabies vaccination certificate filled out in English bearing the signature and license number of a veterinarian licensed in the country of export a) attesting that the dog was not less than 3 months old at the time of vaccination, b) identifying the dog on the basis of breed, sex, age, color, markings, and other identifying information, (c) specifying the vaccination was given at least 30 days before arrival at a U.S. Port, (d) specifying either that the vaccination expires after the date of arrival in a U.S. Port or the vaccine was given not more than 12 months before the date of arrival; and 3. the person intending to import the dog, or his or her agent,must present the import permit and any applicable certifications and veterinary treatment agreement required by this subpart to the collector of customs for use at the port of first arrival into the United States."
It is anticipated that this dog will be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of the Evaluation. The date of release is left to the discretion of the SRC Core Team.
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN SANFORD, NC . YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THAT LOCATION IN ORDER TO PICK LUNA UP THERE WHEN SHE IS ADOPTED .
Tax-deductible donation requested at time of adoption for this dog is $615 .
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO APPLYING
When ready for adoption, this canine will have been evaluated for at least two weeks by loving SRC foster parents who will be able to give the adoptive parents their opinion about the demeanor of the family companion prior to the adoptive parents finalizing their adoption of this canine. All our SRC volunteers strive to do this for the well-being of their rescued canine and to assure a successful adoption. It is our worthy mission to assure that each canine rescued by SRC is placed in a loving, stable and permanent home whose family members will treat it as a beloved member of their immediate family. We are prepared to assure that all of our rescued dogs are in great homes or we will reclaim them if necessary.
SRC’s rescued dogs are placed in foster homes throughout NC, SC, TN, and VA until they are adopted.These same states are SRC's approved adoption areas so please do not apply unless you live in one of these states. You must be willing to drive to the dog's foster home in order to adopt the canine. The location of each dog is listed at the bottom of its bio.
BEFORE meeting an SRC dog, you must be approved to adopt by our Placement Team. Our downloadable Adoption Application is on our web site at http://www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org/_files/SRC_APP_082013.doc and may be submitted via email or fax (1-910-401-1317). You may request an Adoption Application to email address: adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org
Upon receipt of your application, a vet reference check will be done and if the vet check is satisfactory then a home visit will be done. The entire process may take up to seven days, depending on your location and the number of applications being processed at that time.
Please plan on welcoming your new dog into your home within two weeks after approval. We cannot hold dogs because this limits our intake of others in need; SRC adopts them out on a first-come, first-serve basis based on a completed approved adoption process. If you are unable to accept your adopted dog within this time frame then SRC will go to the next approval and place with someone able to give the rescue a home within the proper time frame.
SRC does not ordinarily adopt its dogs to families with children under ten years of age. Exceptions are sometimes made on a case by case basis but only when the dog has been raised with children and the children are very respectful of animals. This is for the protection of the dogs and for the protection of the children.
Procedures will be explained to you at the time of approval regarding donation and contract. Your donation is made in honor of the adoption of your new family companion and is never a purchase of an animal. This tax deductible donation goes forward to help incoming rescued dogs. Our average total expense per dog includes but is not limited to the list of expenses shown below.
Here is a break-down of the average expenses spent on SRC dogs to assure they remain healthy and happy as they are prepared for adoption:
Office Visit $45-60; Fecal $14-56; Rabies $24-48; DHPP $24-48; Bordatella $24-48; Heart-worm, Lyme, Ehrliccia Testing $30-55; Heart-worm
Preventative $56 per month; Spay or Neuter $300-$600; Total Basic Vetting $578- $865; ADDITIONAL VETTING: Teeth Cleaning $400 - 750; Blood Panel $120 -385; Cherry Eye $300-$500; Urinary Tract Infection $90-150; Heart-worm Treatment $300-900; Luxating Patellas $1,800 per leg; Cruciate Surgery $1,200 per leg; Entropian Surgery $250-$500; Demodectic Mange $200 per month; X-Ray $80 - $120; Ultrasound: $350; Cataract Surgery $1800 - $3500; Boarding $350 per month per dog
Dogs from CHINA also incur expenses for documentation such as passports, quarantine boarding, purchase from butcher shops and law enforcement, license, and air flights. Each dog must have a flight volunteer to assist before any of them are allowed to travel on the airplane so expenses are monumental. Please understand that some of this must be recouped of their rescue cannot continue.
SRC wants to thank you for your interest in our rescued dogs. We put our heart and souls into saving their lives. Often the medical expense, time and effort expended to help these dogs, far outweighs the minimal donation requested to adopt these innocent ones. Please understand SRC is limited in the number of dogs in our safe haven and if you are not selected to adopt one of them, it is not a reflection on your ability to provide a good home for a canine, simply our lack of ability to provide for the overwhelming demand from applicants. SRC urges you to pursue rescue -- it is definitely a worthy mission even if you do not adopt from SRC.
